This week (11-15 Jan), we started the class on Monday by starting to discuss the topic for this term which is about ecology. We were also told that our project for this term is to make a self-sustaining terrarium and were divided into groups. In our groups, we make the group contract that is due this Friday and make plan for our terrarium project. On Tuesday, we started the class with mini lessons about introduction to ecology by discussing the basics such as environment, ecosystem, food web, food chain, predation and competition. After the mini lesson, we were told to sit in our group and continue making the group contract and also the planning for the terrarium project. On Friday, we conduct a mini lesson about energy flow through the ecosystem. It all begins with the sun, then its energy is absorbed by producers (such as plants) to make energy. The energy is later passed on from producers to consumer 1 (herbivore), consumer 2 (carnivore) and so on. Climate and temperature determines ecosystem, that is why we have different ecosystems. Consumers cannot make their own energy, so they ate producers. Scavenger is a consumer that consume other consumer that is dead. Food chain shows energy transfer, while food web is a group of food chain interconnected in an ecosystem. After that Ms. Disty told us about the homework for making a poster about a food web on an ecosystem. I choose tundra for my poster.
